Won't be long before the English language is changed in England to some islamic gibberish.... Sadly most of Europe is in the same sorry boat. Here in Dublin, walking the streets, i don't hear english spoken very much anymore.

Buy a Randall.....all-American made with a stellar history since WWII. I've carried my Model 14 in Vietnam, Pakistan, Congo, sub-Continent, Afghanistan, and on into Africa these last few years - younger guys don't much carry sheath knives anymore.

Argo you are right, Randall is a great maker, I have several including a #1 I carried through Desert Storm, OIF, and OEF. I have a Purdey knife too and it is a decent knife which nicely goes with the rest of the accessories in the fitted case.
For serious work, the Randall is the way.
The challenge for Randall is still the wait, Sometime in the next few months I might finally get the next Randall I ordered two years ago.

The Randall knife sellers on Ebay don't appear to waiting very long on getting them.

Joe, is that a deduction on your part or are you aware of a shortened waiting period for eBay sellers?
What is your first hand experience in ordering from Randall?

I've owned two Randall knifes and bought both second hand...
It just seems suspicious to me that most models are readily available off Ebay and strangely at about the same prices that Randall sells them for.

Maybe they're counterfeits.

jOe, I have a very knowledgable Randall expert in the family - beware of forgeries. If you order a new Randall, you will wait a considerable time for it. However, there are always some used Randall's available. There are a couple of good sites where you can check the authenticity of the knife. www.knifetalkforums.comwww.knifenetwork.comwww.bladeforums.com

Never had a Randall knife. I had no idea they were so expensive. I use my knives too much to want to own one that costs that much. I can admire them though...Geo
